BE data - what is being done with it please?

Hello,
Sorry for barging in here without carefully reading every post :( Not good form I know but um ... I do wish to sincerely help - I usually participate on the official BE forums and we all regard swgcreatures as a major site for BE's.
I'm a BE on bloodfin and also an .asp programmer - and as you know BE has completely changed. I was wondering what is being done on swgcreatures with regard to this (sorry I haven't read all your posts on swgcreatures) and also, I would very much like to help update the DNA calculator (but obviously not to replace the person who it belongs to - just if you need someone).
We are currently going to test to see if the old putting together a template equations work with the new DNA ... and come up with some new ones if they don't. We've come up with predictive equations for all the other BE stats as well that would be useful to be added to the DNA laboratory.
I think the old DNA data needs to be archived or deleted even (might be useful to keep for posterity) and certain fields of the table hidden on stats - all of the resistances etc. are of course gone. I would be very happy to help with this effort as much as you need me ...
The DNA from mission lairs differs from the wild lairs so it is important that only wild creature DNA is put into the new database and that needs to be made clear to people entering data i think :)
Please let me know what I can do to help and all that. Wasn't sure if I should try to figure out who to mail privately or what?
Yours,
Dorelli Deacon (master BE Bloodfin)
PS. now that I've posted this i should really go have a look at what's already been DONE here ... sorry ... and forgive me for posting before I've looked ...
